Life is a long journey and a race to run. So I am trying hard to keep forcus on the right track to catch the rainbow before evening falls. My English name is Candy. I'm a humorous, passionate, open-minded woman. I deal things with great patience. I have a care-giving heart, and a fun-loving, very easy going personality. Chengdu is my hometown, and I worked as a manager for a printing company in Guangdong province for many years. I retired in August 2023.
From November 2023 to June 2024, I embarked on my first solo retirement traveling, exploring 11 countries all by myself. Now, I’m excited to begin my second retirement journey starting July 2025! I'm hoping to meet you on my journey. It would be wonderful thing!
